Review about Windows 10
Pros and Cons
  • "As we are talking about Microsoft, the installation has not posed any problems."
  • "As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation."

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I have been using Windows 10 for ten to twenty years. Any time one uses a PC he makes use of Windows. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The performance and stability are not bad. The stability seems fine by me. 

    I cannot state definitively one way or the other if there is a need to improve the stability. 

    How was the initial setup?

    As we are talking about Microsoft, I have encountered no problems with the installation. 

    What about the implementation team?

    The installation can be handled on one's own. 

    I am not aware of how much technical team is required for the deployment.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The price is not in my purview and, as such, is not an area of my concern.  

    What other advice do I have?

    I consider the solution to be okay. 

    I do not see a need to improve the solution's security features. 

    I feel the interface and dashboard are fine. I adopt it in such a way that it suits my needs. 

    There are several thousand people making use of the solution in my university. 

    The solution is fine by me and I make use of it, but I am not in a position to recommend it to others. I feel there is no alternative. As I am unfamiliar with Mac and Linux, I do not attempt their use. 

    I rate Windows 10 as a seven out of ten.

    Easy to use, useful online support, and reliable

    • "Windows 10 is easy to use."
    • "I prefer Linux over Windows 10 because the command prompt is better in Linux."

    I am using Windows 10 for running applications, such as VMware and Virtual Pass.

    Windows 10 is easy to use.

    I have been using Windows 10 for approximately three years.

    There is a lot of support online. I had a problem with Windows 10 but I used the help online and I was able to fix the problem.

    Easy to install and use
    Pros and Cons
    • "The solution is easy to use."
    • "I am not so happy with the performance"

    What is our primary use case?

    The solution is useful for running one's personal applications.

    What is most valuable?

    The solution is easy to use. We are very used to using Windows, starting from their 3.1 version. This is the only reason we stick with it. 

    What needs improvement?

    I am not so happy with the performance. All else is good, but the performance could be better. 

    The user interface could be more interesting, more user-friendly. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable. 

    How are customer service and support?

    I have not contacted tech support. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    We only did upgrading. We used Windows 10 prior to Windows 7. 

    How was the initial setup?

    The solution came pre-installed. I have done installations of the earlier versions of Windows. This is easy.

    The installation process lasted roughly an hour. 

    What about the implementation team?

    One can do the installation on one's own. My IT background allows me to handle it independently, but I believe this can be done by oneself even without such a background. 

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The solution came pre-installed on my computer, so I did not incur a licensing fee. 

    What other advice do I have?

    I would recommend the solution to others. 

    I rate Windows 10 as an eight out of ten.

    Mostly stable and setup isn't complicated
    Pros and Cons
    • "Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations."
    • "At the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen."

    For how long have I used the solution?

    This is a new laptop, so I've been using it for less than a year.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    I haven't had any issues with my system. But at the beginning of the year, there was a Windows patch update that created a lot of problems for our customers. They kept on getting the blue screen. I believe it was a patch update in February at the beginning of the year, if I'm not mistaken. So, we were getting a lot of calls. Yeah, that was the only issue I found. But otherwise, Windows was totally fine because we are all familiar with it.

    How are customer service and support?

    So far, Microsoft support has been okay. But then again, we have in-house support. So, before it goes to the Microsoft team, most issues are handled by our team. We have a structured support team, so I haven't had any problems so far.

    How was the initial setup?

    Windows setup isn't very complicated. Mostly, we have someone proficient in Windows to do our installations. It's not something normal users deal with. So if you ask an average user, they might say it's a bit complex, but otherwise, no.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    We primarily use yearly subscriptions because organizations prefer bundled packages that you pay for annually. We also recommend that. Who wants to pay every month?

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Windows 10 eight out of 10. 

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Stable and easy to install
    Pros and Cons
    • "What I like about Windows 10 most is its stability."
    • "The license for Windows 10 is a little bit expensive."

    What is our primary use case?

    I use Windows 10 for running personal and business applications. The company where I am working is a little bit small for the moment, so it's about 300 users.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've been using Windows 10 for about three years.

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    What I like about Windows 10 most is its stability.

    How are customer service and support?

    I used Microsoft tech support a long time ago but not for Windows 10.

    How was the initial setup?

    Windows 10 was easy to install. I'm not sure how long it took, but it was easy.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    The license for Windows 10 is a little bit expensive.

    What other advice do I have?

    I rate Windows 10 nine out of 10.

    Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

    Stable and easy to use with good performance
    Pros and Cons
    • "The initial setup is very straightforward."
    • "We'd always be happier if the enterprise version was a little bit lower in price."

    What is our primary use case?

    We use it for everything. We just don't use any other version at the moment. For the last four, five years, we are just using this one version, Windows 10.

    What is most valuable?

    The performance of the solution is good. We have found the product to be stable. 

    The interface is also good and it is very easy to use.

    The initial setup is very straightforward. 

    What needs improvement?

    So far, the solution has been very good. I cannot recall coming across any missing features. There's nothing I would add at this time. 

    We'd always be happier if the enterprise version was a little bit lower in price.

    For how long have I used the solution?

    I've used the solution for four or five years now. 

    What do I think about the stability of the solution?

    The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and we have found the performance to be very good overall. 

    What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

    We have close to 200 people using the solution at this time. 

    Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

    For the last few years, we haven't used anything but Windows. We upgraded from Windows 7, which is what we used previously.

    How was the initial setup?

    The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not overly difficult or complex. A user shouldn't struggle to set it up.

    In terms of deployment, you do need more people and more time if you have to do it in multiple geographical locations. In our case, we use around 10, and they cover our locations very well.

    In terms of maintenance, just to look after the OS and all those things, we have a team of five.

    What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

    While we would always prefer a lower cost for licensing the product, for the kind of quality the software system is providing, I cannot complain. You get pretty good value.

    What other advice do I have?

    I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. We've been pretty happy with its capabilities.

    I would recommend the solution to other users and organizations.
